Any body know of a Good Marine shop In/near Houston?

I want to get a tonnoue cover made for my truck. I think the ones with the snaps will be more era correct. I have a short stepside and the holes for the snaps and the braces were already drilled when I bought the truck. I would like to have a cover made locally so the snaps will line up with my holes. I know I can get them online, but like I said, I want the holes to match up.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Shawn

Don't have the answer for the shop, but I have an idea of where to find someone. Check with the upholstery shops in your area. I've had a few custom things done in the past (not a tonneau) at shops in CA and Hawaii - each time I took them what I had and told them what I wanted and it worked out great.

Tent and awning shops are also good sources for this type project.
